BajiRav Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 acid2 test is kind of ridiculous since no mainstream browsers currently render it correctly. 586286764[/snapback] I recall reading Safari being the first browser to pass Acid. And I just tried it did not render that image correctly in Acid2. I have one doubt. does UI effects come under standards ? like decorating widgets like drop down list, buttons etc ? Since safari uses proprietary stuff, many sites look weird with that and hence isn't it odd that it is not included as part of the test ? Off the top of my head...check out http://virtualearth.msn.com/ in IE, FF & Safari. Both IE & FF will render it the way it is supposed to look whereas Safari breaks it since the "Local Search" button is a Mac only look & feel and won't blend nicely with rest of the page. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malirene Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Its good, for a beta. 586285673[/snapback] and Firefox is clone of Safary BTW This is gret for a beta1 :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCheese Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) I just found something. Extract the setup files with WinRAR and open iecustom.dll (in the update folder) in notepad. There is what appears to be ascii art. EDIT: Its the same as iexplore.exe Edited July 28, 2005 by BigCheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowMeNeo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 IE 7 isn't bad. I realize this is beta 1. My top line (MSN Search, The addy bar and foward and back buttons can't be moved. On my old IE I had menu, links, addy bar and foward and back on the same line. It still relies heavily on ActiveX which will probably keep me with Firefox. ActiveX is a nice feature, but at the same time is the worst feature. ActiveX is the reason that the previous IE releases became so insecure. IE needs ActiveX for one legit reason, Windows Update. Every other non-IE browser on the planet survives without ActiveX. IE can too. Make Windows Update a seperate process from the browser and IE will be as secure as everyother browser. Plus, without ActiveX, IE is much faster. Overall grade: C, lose ActiveX and that grade will be an A-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makeshift Hammer Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 What the heck do you need a close button for on the tabs? click it with your middle mouse button and it closes. some people are either too stupid or too lazy to figure them simplest things out.

It handles tabs the best in my opinion. Double click the bar and it creates a new tab, double click the tab and it closes. I can get used to the middle click, but I'd rather double click to close.

.weir Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Why is it that everytime M$ gets some new software out there is people complaining and on top they are the one that are not suppose to have the release that does.Tell M$ instead of us and i think that there would be more chance that your complaints gets heard and your suggested improvements introduced in the next release instead of telling people that dont care. 586285788[/snapback] I don't like IE7, but I couldn't live without Windows 2000/XP, Office 2003, a lot of MS games and my list of products they make, that I love could go on. For those of us who are actually beta testers (myself included) I've submitted my complaints within half an hour of using the app, I just plain don't like it, the UI is totally conter productive IMO, and if it stays this way, I'll stick with FF. And this forum is for discussion of such matters, that's why people talk about it here, to share ideas and opinions. I think IE7 looks fine, its alot more interesting than firefox, don't get me wrong i used ff all the time but i think microsoft finally caought up.don't hate it just because you want to hate microsoft. If microsoft made FF you'd hate it. 586285829[/snapback] see above It just seems much faster, and to me, firefox was always to "chunky" IE is nice and "thin" and just what i need....I dont really know, its just my personal opinion! 586285830[/snapback] Either something is wrong with your eyes, or you very confused, with cute menu installed, firefox takes up a total of one 24px (with no tabs open) task bar on both my systems, which gives me a ton of browsing space (I don't like full screen so don't say it). But with IE7, the smallest i could get was two 24px and one 16px toolbar, that's 40px lost screen spaces, and when your viewing forums etc, that sucks. I could go on with more people's comments, but we'd be here forever Look, some people just don't like this. I personally am very unimpressed, i find it a completely counter productive UI, it should be slim, unobtrusive, just enough to get the job done, and no need for all that empty space. As far as speed, i don't get how everyone finds it so much faster, i find it takes much longer to load images than FF does. Anyway, enough of it, i just feel UI wise it's a step back from IE6 minus the tabs (i wish i could move them though). I just really don't see what the big deal is, just because someone makes a negative comment about the product everyone jumps all over us. Here's how I feel the browser should look (well how I think it should), as out of the way as possible, I want to see the webpage, not 4 inches of toolbars.
